svn co http://codespeak.net/svn/kupu/tag/kupu-1.1.2

SVN does have tags, they just work differently than CVS.

Have a look at http://codespeak.net/svn/kupu/tag where you will find 24+ 
tags (the + is that ngo-stable isn't a tag, its a folder containing more 
tags).

On SVN you create a tag the same way you create a branch, by copying the 
folder structure. By convention you never create revisions in the tag 
folder (I believe some SVN archives do checks on checkins to prevent 
anything in the tags folder except copying and deleting). One advantage of 
creating tags this way is that you can use a hierarchy for tags, so we 
could move the really ancient ones into a sub-folder if there get to be too 
many directly in the tags folder.
